Prop List

Within our film trailer, we will need to use several props in order to make it interesting and life like. One of the props that we would like to use is Zoe's Crosley portable record player (which you can see in the photograph below). This will provide sound effects and will also play a role in the story of the trailer.

Obviously, to accompany the record player, we will use a vinyl record from Zoe's collection. We are still unsure of whether the actual audio from the record will be used, or whether we will edit over the sound with a tune or song of our own choice. We will try both of these possible outcomes and see which is most effective for our trailer.

Another prop that we may need is a clock. Similar to the phone, I'm not sure what type of clock will look best - a vintage clock? A modern clock? I know that I would like it to be an analogue clock with a second hand, as it will be used to show the passing of time and to build up tension within the trailer. It may also be used for sound effects. A passport will also be a necessary prop which will add to the narrative of the story. 

A third prop that will be used in the trailer is a mobile phone. Again, this will play a role in the narrative of the trailer. I'm unsure whether to use one of the phones that me or Zoe own, or source another phone which would look more effective for the aesthetics of the trailer, but we will consider all of our options and decide from there. 

Even the mise en scene and set dressing will need to be considered. Things such as certain make up an clothing the character will wear and also features of the actual set will be considered. These will be used in-conjunction with one another to create the atmosphere we want to portray in our horror trailer.
